These words made Rong Li relax, and Pei Yao took him outside and stood where the car could stop.

Pei Yao was still holding his wrist, but the people around her lowered their heads at this time, looking a little depressed.

She thought Rong Li was still afraid of what he had just seen, so she patted him on the shoulder.

"It's okay, the police will investigate clearly, don't be afraid."

Rong Li nodded and just said thank you, but still did not raise his head.

"Then what's wrong with you?"

Hearing this, Rong Li moved his hand, "I just have some..."

He seemed hesitant to speak, and Pei Yao held his hand tightly.

"I just feel a little embarrassed."

After saying that, Rong Li lowered his head a little, "In such a situation, I should be the one protecting you."

"Why do you have to be the one protecting me?" Pei Yao looked at him curiously, "Normal people will be scared when they suddenly see an arm on the ground. This is human nature. I am not scared because my job is as an embalmer.

I often come into contact with corpses, are forensic doctors afraid of corpses?"

Pei Yao raised Rong Li's head so that he could meet his eyes.

"Rong Li, you can face your fears, don't feel ashamed because you are afraid, and don't put so many constraints on yourself just because you are a man. Why can't men be afraid? Why can't men be timid? We are all human beings.

"

Her tone was very serious, and she saw some doubts in Rong Li's eyes.

"But men are born to protect women."

"No one is born to protect anyone." Pei Yao held his hand tightly, "You and I will protect you in this matter today, and you can also protect me in a certain matter in the future. Everyone has his own

It's your area of ​​expertise, so don't think too much about it, you're already good at it."

After the words fell, Rong Li was stunned. He looked at Pei Yao for a long time without moving.

At this moment, he seemed to suddenly understand why he liked her.

As he grows up, only Pei Yao will tell himself that you are already great now. Even if you have experienced such things since childhood, you have grown into a very good adult smoothly.

Only Pei Yao would think that being timid is not a problem. He is afraid of the night and ghosts. She would not laugh at herself, but would say that you have to learn to face your fears. There is no shame in that.

Rong Li looked at Pei Yao in a daze. Pei Yao stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes, but found that the man did not move.

"Rong Li, the car is here, let's go home."

A car stopped behind them, and Rong Li came back to his senses. Pei Yao was about to speak when suddenly, the man in front of her hugged her. She could feel the cold air emanating from Rong Li's clothes, and she could also feel it.

The warmth of his embrace.

"Thank you, Pei Yao."

Hearing this, the corners of Pei Yao's mouth curved slightly, and she gently patted Rong Li on the back, "Let's go, the driver is waiting for us."

…

This happened. In the next few days, Pei Yao could see Rong Li waiting for him at the door of the funeral home every night. Moreover, he had been wearing a suit every day recently and looked a little busy.

Walking next to him, Pei Yao saw him open the car door and said, "Grandma asked us to eat."

Hearing this, Pei Yao got in the car and saw a piece of strawberry cake on the seat.

"On the way here, I saw a cake shop with a lot of people. I thought you must be hungry after a busy day, so I would like to eat some of this to satisfy my stomach."

The cake was placed in Pei Yao's hand, and the sweet fragrance of cream mixed with the sweet and sour smell of strawberries hit his face. Pei Yao felt that he had a little more appetite.

After a busy day, she was indeed hungry, but the cake was a bit big and she couldn't finish it by herself, so she picked up a spoon and handed it to Rong Li.

"Let's eat together."

Pei Yao placed the cake between the two of them. Pei Yao took a bite and his eyes widened immediately.

"tasty."

Looking at the missing piece of cake, Rong Li carefully dug out a piece. The cake was sweet, and so was his heart.

This is the first time that he and Pei Yao eat the same cake together. Rong Li thinks to himself that this is probably a day that needs to be remembered.

When the car drove to Grandma Rong's house, half of the cake was eaten. After Pei Yao put the cake away, she and Rong Li went upstairs.

When she got upstairs, she found that not only Grandma Rong was there, but Rong Feng was also there. But as soon as she saw them, Rong Feng pulled Rong Li away, and she was pulled to her side by Grandma Rong.

"Yao Yao, have you been too busy at work recently? You have lost weight."

"No." Pei Yao smiled, "I've been eating a lot lately, and I think I've gained some weight."

Hearing this, Grandma Rong smiled a little more on her face.

"I seem to have a good relationship with Rong Li recently? I think you got along better than before when you first came in."

"Fortunately, we have been living together recently and we understand each other better than before."

Pei Yao just answered Grandma Rong's question, but after she finished speaking, she saw the smile on Grandma Rong's face getting weirder.

She was stunned for a moment before realizing the meaning behind the smile. Just when she was about to explain, Grandma Rong's voice came again.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you. Rong Li has been going to the company every day recently. If it weren't for you, he doesn't know when he would have figured it out."

"work?"

Pei Yao's tone was a little surprised. She only knew that Rong Li had been busy recently, but she didn't know that he had gone to work.

"Yeah." Grandma Rong nodded, "Actually, although this kid Rong Li looks unattractive, he has a good business mind. He inherited this from his father, but because of her mother's reasons, he has been reluctant to do so.

Join the company to help his father share the burden."

Speaking of this, Pei Yao sighed when he saw Grandma Rong.

"Fu Rong only wants to help the Fu family, and she has such a strong desire to control Rong Li. Rong Li is worried that if he joins the company and gains power, Fu Rong will definitely find ways to let him help the Fu family. Although Rong Li

He was treated like that by his mother when he was a child, but in his heart he has always longed for maternal love. If Fu Rong really asks him to do something, he will not refuse."

Speaking of this, Pei Yao took Grandma Rong's hand.

"Everything will be fine, don't worry too much."

"I know." Pei Yao saw a little more smile on Grandma Rong's face and smiled too.

"Rong Li had refused to go to the company before, but that day he went to his dad and said he had figured it out. He couldn't hide like this forever. If he kept hiding, the problem would never be solved. He might as well take the initiative and attack.

I thought about it, and you are the only one who can make him change his mind. You gave him a lot of courage and made him more mature, so grandma would like to thank you very much."

After saying that, Pei Yao saw Grandma Rong take out a box from behind.
